Multi-omics Profiling of the Lateral Ventricle Choroid Plexus Reveals Developmental Cellular Remodeling, Early Immune Gene Activation, and a Novel Epithelial Subtype

Healthy brain development and function highly depend on the choroid plexus. Temporal alterations in the cellular landscape and gene expression of choroid plexus cells can alter immune cell trafficking...

🧪Move over CUT&Tag, there’s a new #TranscriptionFactor mapping method in town.
Our newly developed DynaTag is faster, cleaner, more sensitive than #ChIPseq, #CUT&RUN and #CUT&Tag.
🔗 Our @natcomms.nature.com paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
🧵Let’s break down what makes DynaTag so powerful (1/7)

Image credit: @gloglita.bsky.social‬ @lifescienceeditors.bsky.social‬ captured DynaTag in action: a pA-Tn5 probe (multicoloured) binds an antibody (white), which binds p53 DNA-binding domain (green) on DNA (blue) within 2 nucleosomes

Thanks all speakers, chairs, panelists, MS patients and other participants that joined us at Karolinska Institutet @ki.se and that made this Symposium an unique thinktank (on the true sense of the word) on MS.

Gonçalo Castelo-Branco @gocastelobranco.bsky.social · Jun 6

...and it is a wrap! 4 days of fantastic talks and brainstormings on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of multiple sclerosis and how this knowledge has been leading to disease-modifying treatments. And what we still don't know and where we are/should be moving towards.
